Learn why it's important to get periodic check-ups.

The standard recommendation is to visit your dentist twice a year for check-ups and cleanings.
This frequency level works well for most people, although some people with gum disease, a
genetic predisposition for plaque build-up or cavities, or a weakened immune system might
need to visit the dentist more frequently for optimal care.

The three biggest reasons we strongly support the twice-yearly visitation schedule are:

So that your dentist can check for problems that you might not see or feel

To allow your dentist to find early signs of decay (decay doesn't become visible or cause pain until it reaches more advanced stages).

To treat any other oral health problems found (generally, the earlier a problem is found, the more manageable it is).
